heer determination. A fashion challenge that gave me a lot of freedom and creativity.

I wanted to style with this skirt because 1. I love a fashion challenge and 2. It pushed me to be comfortable in my choices and skin. To balance the sheerness of the skirt, I paired full structure on top. A great tailored blazer and a high neck tank along with a dash of color.

On another note – just wanted to share this double breasted suit blazer again, casually styled with jeans. It’s beautiful in person! Structured, tailored and looks so sleek and polished. For sizing reference, I’m 5 ft 105 pounds and wearing a size XS (no alterations needed on the blazer).

Just in case you’re in the mood for denim, these slim straight leg jeans are really good. They have a nice stretch to them without becoming loose over time. As for the leg opening, the best way for me to describe it is… if skinny jeans and wide leg jeans had a baby, they would be these slim straight legs. They run big, I highly recommend sizing down 1 to 2 sizes. I’m normally a size 26 in jeans and take size Petite 24 in these. The heeled Mary Jane on the other hand, I find that they fit TTS.

The essence of summer captured in a dress and blazer!

I’ve been obsessed with Sezane lately. Just a small glimpse of their summer Éditions collection and it’s not hard to see why. Today, I’m sharing a few of their standout pieces – a sculptural dress and velvety-soft blazer.

Let’s start with this Sezane Charlie dress. It’s stunning! The shape is sculptural and flattering, the color is vibrant while the texture is subtle and thoughtful. It comes with adjustable straps so making the neckline and gathered chest band (basically the top portion of the dress) fit and adjusted correctly is not a problem. I’m 5 ft 110 pounds and wearing a size 2 – the dress hits 2 to 3 inches above my knees. No need for tailoring or alterations with this piece. Also comes in a beautiful ivory and navy color.

Now to the Sezane Agnes blazer. It’s so soft! Insanely lush and comfortable, it feels like you’re wearing sophisticated PJs for daytime. I patiently waited for the matching pants to come back and just snatched a pair. As for sizing, I’m wearing a size 2 and it fits well. The shoulders and waist fit comfortably across. The only small change I’d make is the sleeves. They’re a tad long. For now, I’m using the hair ties hack (basically use hair ties to roll up the sleeves for them to stay in place). Other than that, no need for tailoring or alterations with this piece either. Also comes in a gorgeous green shade.

Fall fashion colors and embracing the bump with super soft and comfortable knitwear.

Pregnancy style?! I had to type that a few times to let it really sink in! Dressing lately has been challenging, but I do love a fashion challenge. Even before pregnancy, I had a hard time wearing pants. If you take a look at my older posts, I don’t wear pants often. There’s really no delicate way to put this… The reason why I don’t like pants in general is that it rubs against my crotch and pelvic area. With my bladder disease, constant UTI and pelvic pain, I just don’t like anything that puts pressure there. Now with pregnancy, I really don’t like pants! Defaulting to my ultimate love – the sweater dress is my go-to for comfort. Before pregnancy and now with pregnancy.

Because I’m going to be wear a lot more sweater dresses, I’m always looking for creative ways to style it so it’s not a cut and paste situation. This cardigan sweater (worn as a sweater dress) is not only comfortable, but also so chic . I love the drop shoulder and balloon sleeves! Keeping with a fall color story, I paired it with a wrap belt and brown tall boots. These boots are really comfortable! They have a memory foam insole and are very easy to walk in (didn’t realize how important this is until now!).

What I love about this outfit is that I can wear it during pregnancy and afterwards. Ahhhhh, I’m just really enjoying these moments! As I mentioned before, I really don’t think I’ll get this opportunity again so I’m just embracing my bump as much as I can. Thank you so much for being on this journey with me!

Impressionist painting print and a structured bubble hem – a truly artful piece for summer.

Just like a painting come to life, I feel as though I jumped into a painting and came out the other side with the image of it on my dress. The impressionist painting print of this dress is not the only aspect that makes it special. It’s also the structured bubble hem, the puff sleeves and the cross-over neckline. All of it work together so harmoniously!

The best part about this whole look is that… every piece is on sale! The dress + blue caged pumps and super soft pouch bag are all on sale. Lately, I’m a huge fan of blue and sky blue color accessories. This color palette compliments both casual and dressy looks. It’s so versatile! Just in case you’re interested, I highly recommend checking out the Shopbop 70% OFF Sale!

I hope you enjoy the styling and thank you so much for reading!

Vibrant colors to match the summer season. A heavy dose of sunshine orange with soft rose pink.

Summer is made for statement dresses and vibrant color stories. Embracing summer to the fullest, I paired a voluminous cut-out dress with a gentler hue. From the full sleeves to the waist cutouts to the tiered skirt – this piece is just so much fun! It’s a darling dress for both day and night.

A dose of sunshine colors just in case you’re eyeing any yellow and orange dresses. A combination of short and long silhouettes in different textures and cut-out details.

I hope you enjoy this color combination and have a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for reading!

Moments that feel like a little Paris in New York. Until we can travel again, these places are architecturally stunning and help to reignite the imagination.

Glimpses of Arc de Triomphe de l’Etoile and hints of Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, this archway in Brooklyn is a true treasure on its own and also a place to revisit moments of travel. This location, the Grand Army Plaza, is a National Historic Landmark designed for pedestrians to enjoy breaths of serenity while in the city. Right next to the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Central Library, this park is a perfect resting place and spot to people watch.

As it gets warmer, I pulled out a sweetheart neckline dress for those in between weather moments. The sweetheart neckline, side slit and ribbed knit gives it stretch and structure while the dress itself is comfortable for those cooler early spring days and nights. If you like this neckline, you might also enjoy this sweetheart knit top and the options below.

Happy spring and hope you’re having a wonderful week so far! Thank you so much for reading!

Only two hours from NY, this colourful and peaceful place is full of charm and adventures. From tasting the best fish sandwich to seeing the most turquoise blue waters… Bermuda is truly breathtaking!

I didn’t realize that paradise was less than two hours away! It takes the same amount of time getting to the airport as it is flying to Bermuda. An incredible place for a weekend trip or a week long getaway, Bermuda has something for every body. My brother and his wife came to visit us last week and we were seriously thinking about heading to Bermuda again. We just didn’t have enough time (they were here in NYC for only two days). Next time though, we’re going to pack the whole family up and head to the jewel of the Atlantic. Colin and I had such a great time there that we want to share Bermuda with everyone.

From Jobsons Cove beach to Horseshoe Bay beach to every beach hugging Bermuda, the colors are unbelievable. Pictures do not do it justice. Turquoise blue waters rolling over salmon pink sands, the vibrant hues sparkle against golden sunsets and soft winds.

A must-do in Bermuda – the Crystal Caves! One of the largest caves in the island, Crystal Caves is an underground natural wonder that illuminates flashes of greens and blues. Dark, damp, and mysterious, the entrance to the caves is steep and deep. Once inside, lights turn on illuminating the incredible structures and formations.

In addition to the caves, the town of St. George’s has an old world charm to it, the best fish sandwich is in Bermuda (we tried Art Mel’s and it’s sooo good!), and one of the best views of Bermuda is at Gibbs Hill Lighthouse.
